Engaged and Thankful
Things seem to be trending towards normalcy. Not the “new norm” either, but actual life as we once knew it. At least that is my hope as we head into spring and meeting season across the industry.
This month we will have the first HIDA Executive Conference in three years. In April, we will host the Hall of Fame dinner for the class of 2020. And several distributors will host their national sales meetings face to face during the following few months.
I am so ready to see you all at live events, full of energy. I will leave this topic with one thought for you as you start to get back at it – don’t take one minute of these events for granted. Be engaged and thankful to each other for the time we get together and eager to learn from the manufacturers. These next few months are going to be amazing. I can’t wait!
Now shifting gears on you: About twice a year I like to use this platform to remind you of the tools we have available to help in your professional development. All of which are free to you.
Repertoire Magazine – Both in print and digital, Repertoire is designed 100% with the distribution salesperson in mind. The ads and content in the pages of this publication are to keep you up to date and informed about the industry and your manufacturing partners.
RepConnect – Our free app is filled with manufacturer literature, rep rosters, 2-minute educational product videos which give you conversation starters for your clients, as well as 2-minute end-user videos for you to send to your clients and podcasts.
Podcast – On the Repertoire site (repertoiremag.com) there is a podcast button. Once you click that button there is a library of podcasts on products and services for you. There is also a series called Road Warriors. This is a series of interviews with industry leaders about their careers and their keys to success. I take so much from the interviews, and hope you will too.
Dail-eNews – Our free subscription to our daily news feed. We pull together industry press releases each day, along some of our original content, and send it all out in one e-mail designed to be a 2-3 minute read. You can subscribe to this on the Repertoire site.
We hope you enjoy the content we create for you each month, and we’re always open to ideas of things you need to further your career and sell more stuff. Thank you for allowing us into your lives for almost 30 years.
Dedicated to the industry,
R. Scott Adams
